The conifer that turns gold. The only deciduous pine you will ever need.

Larix kaempferi, the Japanese Larch, is one of the most unusual and visually spectacular conifers available to temperate growers, a needle-bearing tree that behaves like a deciduous hardwood, dropping all its needles every fall in a stunning display of gold and amber before standing bare through winter and emerging in the softest, brightest spring green of any conifer in the landscape. It is fast-growing, cold-hardy, adaptable to a wide range of soils, and one of the most prized species in traditional bonsai cultivation worldwide. Native to the mountains of central Japan, it has been planted across Europe and North America for timber, landscape use, and bonsai practice for over a century. If you are looking to buy Japanese Larch seeds or grow larch from seed, this is the tree that surprises everyone who sees it change.

  • The only commonly planted deciduous conifer with both spring and fall visual interest
  • Brilliant gold and amber fall color before needles drop, followed by bare sculptural winter form
  • Soft, bright spring green needles in tufted rosettes, completely distinctive among conifers
  • One of the most important and widely used species in traditional Japanese and European bonsai
  • Fast-growing and cold-hardy, tolerating a wide range of soils and climates

Things you probably did not know about the Japanese Larch

It was introduced to Britain in 1861 and transformed the British forestry industry. Japanese Larch was brought to Britain as an ornamental specimen tree but was quickly recognized as a superior timber producer, growing faster and more disease-resistant than the European Larch it replaced. Within decades it became one of the most planted timber trees in Britain. Hybrids between Japanese and European Larch, called Dunkeld Larch, are now among the most important commercial forestry trees in northern Europe.

Bonsai masters consider it the most forgiving larch for beginners. Unlike many conifers that respond poorly to aggressive pruning, Japanese Larch tolerates dramatic cutting back and responds with dense, fine branching that develops quickly into convincing aged forms. It is one of the few species that beginners can work on aggressively without killing, which is why it appears in virtually every serious bonsai collection and school.

The bare winter silhouette reveals structure that no other tree shows. When Japanese Larch drops its needles, the fine, delicate branching structure of the tree becomes fully visible in a way that no evergreen conifer ever reveals. The combination of spreading branch architecture and reddish-orange twig color creates a winter display that is arguably as beautiful as the fall gold.

It hybridizes naturally when planted near European Larch. Wherever Japanese and European Larch grow in proximity, natural hybrids called Dunkeld Larch appear and typically outgrow both parents in a phenomenon called hybrid vigor. The Dunkeld Larch is one of the most vigorous and disease-resistant larches in cultivation as a result.

Good ball for strong chewers
Color: Cheeze Brawl - Large, Color: Cheeze Brawl - Large
My dog loves this ball except the outside fur gets gross really quickly. However, it’s easy to cutoff and underneath is a strong squeaky ball. It’s like two gifts in one. He’s a very heavy chewer and the ball lasts quite a bit.

Take the skin off and get the right size for your dog’s weight!
Color: Panda Bear - Large, Color: Panda Bear - Large
This review is specifically for the panda toy. My dog is a super chewer and will literally go through any normal toy, even the ones labeled for aggressive chewers, within a few hours at most. He’s about to be 10 years old and this is the first time he’s ever had a toy that lasted as long as it has. I wanna mention the outer layer he almost immediately chewed through. To me, it wasn’t worth the fear of him dealing through pieces so I just took the whole “skin” off. However, he’s safely had this for 2 months with no issues and heavy daily chewing until he finally broke it apart. So if you have a super chewer, make sure to get the size appropriate for your dog’s weight and take the “skin” off and you’re left with a quality toy that will stick around! Pictured is a set of 2 new toys of the same variety since he finally chewed through his last batch lol

My dog loves this toy but…
Color: Grey Bear - Large
This toy has many pros and cons, but it’s my dogs all time favorite toy so I have to give it 4 stars. Pro:My German Shepard loves this toy, it has no squeaker and she hates squeakers, so she hasn’t tried to destroy it. It’s the perfect size for a large ball. She likes to throw her toys and this one has a pretty decent bounce to it so she can entertain herself. Cons: the inside is hard rubber, she likes to throw her toys and it hurts when she hits you with it or drops it on your feet. Also a huge hazard to windows and anything breakable.

Pretty awesome chew toy
Color: Grey Bear - Large
This toy is great!! I have a doodle that shreds everything in sight, including durable toys, but this one stood up to the Teddy test! He easily ripped off the ear/feet bits, but the fabric casing hasn’t come off after a week of play, and I expect the rubber toy inside will be even harder to break. This is a fairly heavy toy, so it makes a thunk when it drops and is probably not suitable for small dogs. It has a light squeak that is quiet and infrequent enough to not annoy me, and it’s pretty cute too!! it does get soaked in drool pretty fast (and takes forever to dry), but at this point i’m grateful it lasts long enough to get drooled on at all.

less than 24 hours :/
Color: Grey Bear - Large, Color: Grey Bear - Large
smaller than i expected but had a strong interior that i was pleasantly surprised with. my lil lady very much enjoyed it, however it lasted less than 24 hours before the poor toy was skinned alive :( she loves plushies and she’s obsessed w his skin after tearing him apart. it does have a solid rubber interior that is still good as a toy, however i was hoping its skin would stay on longer than a day :( overall decent toy, 3 stars for being destroyed so quickly. wouldn’t recommend for strong chewers
